decades of experience in a range of ornithological surveying methods,
from single visit site surveys to multi-visit, intensive Common Bird Census
and Tetrad type surveys.

If you are
an Environmental Consultancy seeking reliable, efficient & proficient
subcontractors or in industry/ commerce and have a site or area for which
you need ornithological data, or simply want to know what birds are on
your land, then we can probably help. We have years of experience in wide
range of ornithological surveying methods including:

Site
Visits

single
or multiple visits at any time of the year to record any avian inhabitants

Common
Bird Census/ Breeding Bird Survey

intensive
multi visit survey during the breeding season to plot every contact
with behaviour annotations

Transects

similar
to CBC, but walking in parallel lines through an area recording
numbers and behaviour

Tetrads

large
area survey involving single or multiple 1km squares requiring 2x
1 hour visits to each square, recording adult birds during the breeding
season

Vantage
Point

scanning
an area from a vantage point for several hours on multiple visits

Point
Count

making
x4 10 min counts from 4 points with 1 km2. Repeated through the
year. Useful for covering large areas

We can undertake
all of the above, plus more, at a very reasonable £175 per day,
or £100 for half a day, plus traveling expenses. We will talk to
you and discuss what you want from the survey, and decide what the appropriate
survey method would be. As part of the professional service you will receive
a fully documented report of the findings, at a one off £175 for
one days admin to produce the report* If required AV presentations
can be given on the findings to supplement the documentary report, again
at the daily/ half daily rate of £175/ £100 respectively plus
traveling expenses.

CBC and Tetrad methods that will require at least a week (7 days) to compile
the maps and correlate the data.
